Wales vs Turkey LIVE: Latest Nations League results and updates as a new era begins under Craig Bellamy

3': Johnson receives the ball on the right and cuts it to Ethan Ampadu. He pushes the ball into the box but Connor Roberts' enterprising run does not end with his possession.

Wales started this game with ball control.

The anthems are played before kick-off and the crowd cheers at the top of their lungs as the Welsh national anthem is sung under the floodlights at Cardiff City Stadium.

Wales get the ball rolling in this Nations League clash. They send it back into defence where it is played out to the right wing where Brennan Johnson is the target but the ball is chested away for a throw-in.

It’s almost time for kick-off at Cardiff City Stadium.

Craig Bellamy will be hoping for a successful start to this era of Welsh football, having given the team some early messages about high intensity and dominating possession.

Turkey will be a tough team to control though and it will be interesting to see how Wales fare tonight. Kick-off is almost here…

Harry Wilson has been involved in five goals in his last seven appearances for Wales (two goals, three assists), one of those assists coming against Turkey in November last year.

Turkey have lost only two of their last 11 Nations League matches (five wins, four draws), but they lost their last match in September 2022 against the Faroe Islands, ranked 125th in the world.

Wales have lost just three of their last 30 home games in all competitions (W17, D10), with two of those defeats coming in the 2022 Nations League against the Netherlands and Poland.

Turkey are winless in their last five away matches (two draws, three losses); before this run, they had won six of their previous seven away matches.

Wales have failed to score in their last three matches, the last of which was a 4-0 defeat to Slovakia in June. They have not gone four games without scoring since September 2012. New manager Craig Bellamy has been in charge in three of those four games.

Turkey have failed to win any of their four away games against Wales (two draws, two defeats) and have scored just one goal in those four games: a penalty from Yusuf Yazıcı in a 1-1 draw in November 2023.

Wales have won only one of their last five games against Turkey (two draws, two losses): 2-0 at Euro 2020.
